My next question for the paint guys is would the gold on the valve covers be able to handle the high engine temperature?

Thanks for the great info. Not to divert the thread but I was thinking of sampling the 21903 gold for my 1962 406 valve covers. Maybe I will compare to the 32277 to see which I like better.

+1!
Since I pestered you before about paint I'll ask:
What formula gold did you use on the valve covers?

Tread carefully. I remember a story around 2001 where a shop in AZ or NM had built a clone or two. Might have been a rebodied wreck. Fuzzy on the details all these years later. Fortunately, we have Marti reports now and a repro door tag is pretty easy to spot.

I wonder how the factory installed them without plowing paint and primer. Maybe some kind of reverse can opener?

Isn't that the mag particle tool I can see in the pictures?

Got to be a big 3D printer I imagine. Did the printed buck have openings so you could check the workpiece from the back?
I have seen video of the CNC sheet metal forming. Pretty amazing.

Looks good. How do you get from scan to metal? Are you making wood bucks?

Never noticed his bore gauge was not .0001" just assumed it was from the numbers he was calling out.
I don't have knowledge of the honing process, but Daniel's goal was to bring the block side saddles to the same height/centerline. It did not appear that he enlarged the horizontal bore diameter any.

No pressure from this side. I am the last person to be able to preach on the progress of the car project!

I suggest adding more info as there were different styles 1963-68 by Ford, not to mention aftermarket.
